As @norton.bsky.social has written at length, the *actual* reaction of most people in the 1920s to the danger posed by (almost unbelievably high) auto fatality rates was that they should be restricted and regulated

Nooooo

Milford Gillette is the kind of Football Guy with a Football Name you just don’t see that much anymore

This may be a long shot but: Is anyone on here an expert the laws relating to Illinois non-profit corporations? I'm particularly interested in what information on such groups the public is entitled to. I searched here and the results are pretty threadbare (no officers list, no documents, etc.):

Cornell agrees to "invest" $30 million in things like AI farming. Cornell also agrees to pay $30 million to the U.S. for no clear reason or purpose.

Optimus will overturn the fundamentals of economics to an extent that we may not even need money in the future, Musk says, and yet he still recommends people "hold onto your Tesla stock," which seems like a kind of mixed message.

Don’t love the wheels but otherwise it’s *chef’s kiss*

VICTORY: We secured a win blocking the Trump Admin from holding billions of dollars in transportation funding hostage in an effort to force states to carry out their cruel immigration policies.

Big win for public transit and safe streets in suburban Philly! Finally we can ask SEPTA to extend the 101 trolley down the giant hill to Ridley Creek. 101 riders deserve to end their commute with a roller coaster

Lmaoooo get rekt

mine eyes? seeing the glory. the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored? trampled. the faithful lighting of his terrible swift sword? buddy, you better believe that's loosed.

Neat little booklet from @transitmatters.bsky.social

“Ow”

Northwestern needs to immediately invest in a T-shirt katyusha to counter the Nebraska nebelwerfer

Why would you have a ‘33 Buick at your flapper party

Good views tho

43 degrees 🥶

Well that’s not good

Happy Halloween

Good for @govpritzker.illinois.gov, using the funding crisis to make the kinds of overdue systemic reforms. Also, IL eliminated minimum parking laws near transit statewide in one fell swoop, which is a HUGE deal.

Good morning. Christine (1983) features a cursed 1958 Fury. If remade today, the haunted car would be a red 2000 Plymouth Breeze.

This Day in Labor History: October 30, 1837. Nicholas Farwell, a train engineer toiling for the Boston and Worcester Rail Road Corporation fell off a train while at work and had his hand crushed by the train. Farwell sued the company for damages. Judge said, nope! Nothing for the injured workers!

Here’s one for car twitter - fiat chrysler is trying to sue a bunch of Amazon retailers of aftermarket replacement jeep grilles (none of them angry eye grilles afaik) for trademark infringement for … saying their products are compatible with Jeeps

A US Drug Enforcement Administration agent said the DEA made “high-level arrests” of 171 Sinaloa Cartel members across New England in August. A Globe investigation found that many of the DEA’s targets were addicts, low-level dealers, shoplifters, and homeless people.

this season needs to end with stanford and northwestern playing in a bowl game sponsored by Puffy Corporate Vests

Arkansas Hog Em's Cereal (2001-2002): These frosted corn flakes were a limited edition release, celebrating the University of Arkansas Razorbacks football team. It also reminded us to visit AOL Sports for the best news and information on Arkansas Football.

Nebraska day

ordinary americans are filming ice agents and trying to save their neighbors. for all the hemming and hawing during 2024 about how democracy was an elite concern, the elites gave up far more quickly than average people.

Just learned about the “sky raider II” program and holy fuck this is not a serious country

This remained a problem until the development corded tires and carbon black as an additive for rubber. Something like 60% of auto maintenance expense was replacing blown pneumatic tires. Lots of wild designs for “resilient” airless wheels

Honestcoolstore how could you

The union pathetic railroad

All it takes is to have one incident in 10,000 "and you have an issue" with your robotaxi service, Musk says, in what is almost certainly the lowest that anyone in driving automation technology has ever set the safety bar

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

Time for my monthly near-death experience on Ruggles St @bostonaruban.bsky.social @gravelinfluencer.bsky.social

If you're the type of person who wants to take the train to Worcester (cool) you should fill this out

In Harrisburg the steam works make the dreams work #manholecovermonday

Apologies Harrisburg I was not familiar with your #manholecovermonday game

“AP does not plan to publish a correct version of this story” well okay then

The perils of AI: The AP uses STATS LLC, a British sports AI company (they once owned). The team and players for this AI recap are all wrong, they took the Texas Southern vs Virginia-Lynchburg game and switched team names and scores. Now it's on ESPN, CBS, and other AP subscribers

Every modern state flag design (concept or actual) looks like faction art from a 2005 RTS about post-American fiefdoms.

This is an international disaster. They targeted a disabled fishing boat in Colombian territorial waters and killed fishermen.

Who fucking cares if it was cringe. In 25 years these people will have kids learning about this period in school, and their kids are going to ask them what they did during it. The libs will have concrete answers with examples. Most of the people posting about No Kings being cringe will not
